Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
● push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
● upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1
- letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted;
● then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob
from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them
by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay,
remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy
water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A
well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be
used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult
to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C).
Keep these components very clean, to avoid lighting
difficulties, and check that the burner crown holes are
not obstructed.
Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.
SYMPTOM
■ There is no spark when lighting the gas
■ The gas ring burns unevenly
SOLUTION
◆ Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on
◆ Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
◆ Check the mains fuse has not blown
◆ Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
◆ Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner
crown is clear of food particles.
◆ Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate
correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre (see
pages 10 and 11).

Installation
Important
This appliance must be installed by qualified
personnel.
The installer shall verify the satisfactory operation
of the ignition system on all burners both
individually and in combination.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
Regulations
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the
manufacturers installation instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, AS5601 (AG601)
and any other relevant statutory regulations.
Data label
The data label is located on the bottom of the hob. This
appliance is suitable for Natural or Universal LPG.
Ensure that the gas supply matches the data label. A
duplicate of the data label is supplied in the packaging
of the user manual and must be attached to readily
accessible adjacent surfaces of the appliances.
Connection to the gas supply
Gas connection must be carried out in conformity with
the regulations in force. The appliance leaves the
factory tested and regulated for the type of gas indicated
on the plate which is situated in the lower position near
the gas connection tube. Ascertain that the type of gas
with which the appliance will be supplied is the same
as that indicated on the plate.
If different carry out all the operations according to the
indications cited in the paragraph adaption to different
types of gas.
For a maximum output and minimum consumption
ascertain that the pressure of the gas used has the
values indicated in the table of burner characteristics.
The joint is mounted on the intake area of the pipe,
fitted with a filleted nut GJ 1/2", between the sealing
components. Screw the parts without forcing, turn the
joint in the direction required and then tighten
everything.
Connection
Carry out the connection to the gas plant only by
means of a rigid metallic pipe conforming to the
regulations in force. The joint for the entry of gas into
the appliance is threaded RC 1/2" (male thread).
Carry out the connection avoiding any type of stress
on the appliance.
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to
the hob connecting pipe. Failure to ensure the
correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.
Natural gas appliances must be fitted with a pressure
regulator and be installed at the inlet connection. The
gas pressure must then be set as a part of the
commissioning procedures.
For U-LPG the pressure adjustment is made via the
regulator fitted at the domestic cylinder.
Important
Upon completion of installation, always check:
● that all the joints are completely sealed by using a
soapy solution, never a flame;
● that the gas pressure has been regulated to 1.00kPa
for Natural Gas and 2.75kPa for Universal-LPG. The
pressure test point is located on the regulator. The
pressure should be measured and adjusted with the
Wok burner on high flame;
● that the automatic ignition system is operating
satisfactory on all burners, both individually and in
combination;
● that the burners operate correctly, are stable, without
yellow tipping or excessive noise on high and low
flame.
Then demonstrate to the customer the appliance
operation and leave these instructions.

WARNING: Servicing shall only be carried out
by authorised personnel.
Substitution of the nozzles
- Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings and
crowns;
- With a tubular spanner no. 7 unscrew and remove
(see diagram) the nozzles substituting them with
those corresponding to the type of gas used (see
Technical data);
- Remount the parts carrying out the operations
described in reverse. Upon completion remove
existing gas type label and stick the relevant gas
type label near the gas supply pipe.
If the pressure of gas used is different (or variable) from
that foreseen an appropriate pressure regulator should
be installed on the entry tube. In case pressure
regulators for U-LPG are used these should conform to
the regulations in force.
Regulation of the minimum
To regulate the minimum:
- bring the tap to the minimum flame position.
- extract the knob.
- in case of conversion from natural gas to U-LPG,
tightly screw the by-pass screw (see diagram);
- when converting from U-LPG to natural gas unscrew
about ½ turn by-pass screw, until a regular small
flame is reached.
Finally check that by quickly turning the tap from
the maximum position to the minimum position the
burner is not extinguished; remount the parts
carrying out the operations described in reverse.
Adaptation to different types of gas
FO 0392
By pass screw
Electrical connections
The appliance is designed to be connected to 230-240
V monophase electricity supply.
The connection must be carried out in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force.
Before the appliance is connected:
1) check that the main fuse and the domestic
installation can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in
compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for
the electrical connection can be easily reached with
the appliance built in the forniture unit.
The appliance is supplied with a connection cable
provided with a plug, able to support the load marked
on the identification plate. The plug has to be fitted in a
proper socket.
If connecting the appliance directly to the electric
system, it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the appliance and the electricity supply,
with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch
contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in
compliance with the current rules.
The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in
each part, it cannot reach a temperature 50 °C higher
than the room temperature.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal
block contact marked with "L") must always be
connected to the network phase.

Fitting the hob to the worktop
Before fitting the hob into the cut out, a sealing gasket
supplied with the hob must be fitted to the edge of the
cut out. It is essential that no gaps are left in this seal in
order to prevent spillage near the hob seeping into the
cabinet below.
1) Place the sealing gasket all around the edge of the
cut out.
2) Place the hob into the cut out and secure it by means
of the relevant fixing clamps and screws, as shown
in the diagram.
3) Remove the excess seal
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents
the ingress of liquids.

Building In
Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or drawer
it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below
the base of the hob on the underside of the work surface.
It is also recommended to carry out the electrical
connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.
Building over a kitchen unit with
door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the
bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is
operated. The recommended solution is shown in
diagram 3.
